Just picked up my new cx5 today.i am so glad i did not buy the fored escape.i just love this vehicle.if you are going to buy one you will nit be sorry.

 

Can you be more specific? What do you love about the CX-5?

 

Agreed, It's a sweet machine. Roomy, good seats, decent pickup, smooth ride, good fit and finish, no squeaks or rattles, awesome gas mileage for this size vehicle and engine (averaging 29mpg @ 750 miles), and just a joy to drive.

 

it rides super smooth,the gas mileage is the best,seats are really comfortable,love the look of the dash.i tried the escape but the engine noise was really loud,gas mileage sucks,and it did not have manual.my wife and i really like manual shift.before this i owned a mazda 5.i had it for 6 yrs with no major problems.

 

Welcome and congrats on new manual.
